Pumpkin Pie in a Bag

Students measure ingredients, mix liquids and solids, then observe (and taste) the results in this tasty lesson. It is an ideal way to wrap up a pumpkin unit, field trip to the pumpkin patch or to use as a math-friendly way to celebrate Thanksgiving.

INSTRUCTIONS

1)Have students wash their hands before handling food.

2) Students measure the milk and then pour it and the instant pudding into the freezer bag. Remove the air in the bag and seal it shut.

3) Students take turns squeezing and kneading the bag with their hands until the milk and pudding are well blended. This should take about one minute.

4) Students measure and add the spice and pumpkin puree to the other ingredients in the bag. Seal the bag, again making sure to remove the air. Students squeeze and knead the bag with their hands until it is well blended, about two minutes.

5) Have students break the graham crackers into squares and place one on each napkin (one per student).
